knightni Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 01:09 PM) As someone whose family is on the rolls of the Cherokee nation, i vote that i like the titles of the threads and applaud the effort at creativity. I also can't believe it's even being discussed. What's going on around here? Ignore it if you don't like it. My original title was something like, "Small Pox The Blankets of our Opponents."

He will hit .350 in September to push him to .240. You act like I don't know this. Better yet, that .240 will come with a rockin' .262 OBP.

pierard Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 QUOTE(JorgeFabregas @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 02:10 PM) Scott Reifert's blog has been updated and says Lineup: Swisher, CF; Cabrera, SS; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; Dye, RF; AJ, C; Ramirez, CF; Crede, 3B; Uribe, 2B. Vazquez pitching. Yes, it has both Swisher and Ramirez playing CF. Seeing as how I may not see it this season, I am going to pretend it says Anderson, Cf; Ramirez, 2b; Fields, 3b... Whatever, just get a W and I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 09:48 AM) I bet you the line-up is the exact same. Ozzie reads Soxtalk and values my opinion greatly. Oh wait he flipped the leftie rightie thing so that Joe Borowski can come in face 7-9 to end the game and laugh his ass off as three guys that can not hit anything other than straight 94 MPH fastballs pop out and K.

StrangeSox Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I really do not get Ramirez in CF over Quentin or Anderson. He is not a CF and its not like he has a phenomenal bat that we need to get in the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not a CF and its not like he has a phenomenal bat that we need to get in the lineup. I think Ozzie would play Southpaw over Anderson if he could. Anderson needs a trade in the worst way to get some time. I expect when Owens comes back, Anderson will be join Fields with the Knights. Quentin for some reason, is a pinch hitter and sometimes OF.

JorgeFabregas Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) I think Carlos Quentin's treatment will finally put the Ozzie latino bias bit to rest. It's not so much that he likes the latin guys--it's that he likes the wispy players who can run fast. Edit: I give it five posts before someone makes a distinction between Ozzie's treatment of American born latin players vs. central/South American.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Why isn't Ramirez batting 9th? I dont want Crede and Uribe hitting behind him, he will be stranded on base everytime. Put Alexei 9th, and let him get on base for Swisher or Cabrera to send him around the bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, at least when I was taking AmIn classes in undergrad, after much back and forth, the generally accepted terminology became American Indians. Not because it was correct, but, at least among anthro folks and AmerInd tribal leaders themselves, they decided it was the least offensive. Ben Nighthorse-Campbell led a campaign of sorts to solidify that. Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled game thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
